Are slip bobbers better?
Slip bobbers are very versatile floats and are almost always a better choice than fixed bobbers. As they can slide up and down your line, they can be fished at any given depth. So, fishing in deeper water would definitely call for a slip bobber.
When should you use a slip bobber?
What is this? Once your rig hits the water, your hookbait or lure will start to sink to the set depth, pulling the line through your bobber until it hits that bobber stop. So, no matter if you want to fish 6 or 60 feet under the surface, the slip bobber will allow you to do so easily and effectively.
What colors do crappie see best?
In stained water (coffee color or with tannic acid) with bright-light conditions, my four predominate crappie catching colors are: green, chartreuse, lime and orange. Lures that contrast two of these colors, or matching them with brown or white are great. Orange-white is good at times, but all-white is not so good.
